This is a gentle walk around the reservoir. Meeting at the weir we’ll walk across the dam following a light woodland gravel path. There is around 30 downward steps along the route and a small section may be slightly muddy depending on previous weather. It returns along the attractive shoreline path. There’s lots of beautiful spots to stop and enjoy.
